UNSPSC 50536303: Dried non GMO glaskin's perpetual rhubarb

The variety of non GMO rhubarb known as non GMO glaskin's perpetual rhubarb that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50536303 Dried non-GMO Glaskin's Perpetual Rhubarb, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a single specialty dried produce item—does not appear in any of the recent opportunities documented in the dataset. Instead, the records reflect state and local solicitations for comprehensive food service categories: school nutrition grocery supply (embracing hundreds of line items spanning proteins, grains, produce, dairy, and prepared foods), fresh produce for school districts and senior meal programs, and institutional catering. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Meriden Public Schools, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state agencies (Georgia), and specialized city departments (City of Bridgeport, City of Meriden, City of Dallas). This code does not reflect meaningful procurement volume or recurring buyer patterns under its stated commodity name.

The recent opportunities in the dataset address food service at scale—school lunch programs requiring 1,100+ line-item grocery catalogs, fresh produce spanning 70+ item varieties, senior congregate meal delivery valued at $17.8 million over three years, and main-line food distribution supporting 25,500+ students daily. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and State of Georgia procurement), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Texas (HHSC El Paso), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Texas (City of Dallas). Representative solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP with estimated annual spending of $9 million (due February 18, 2026), and Hillsborough County's Senior Meals Preparation and Delivery Services ITB valued at $17.8 million over three years (due June 25, 2026). This code's nominal commodity does not correspond to the institutional food procurement activity actually occurring at state and local levels.
